  (laughs)
14. SGShane Gillis

15. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
16. SGShane Gillis
  ... I'm sore. (laughs)
17. JRJoe Rogan
  You gotta start taking vitamins.

Viking obsession vs. Viking skepticism: TV myths, gear, and “reverse mullets”
1. SGShane Gillis
  People love Vikings.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Who doesn't love Vikings?
3. SGShane Gillis
  Fucking Irish people?
4. JRJoe Rogan
  The people that, that were e- on the shore.
5. SGShane Gillis
  The people who got raped for 500 years? (laughs)
6. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs) Bro, they fucked everybody up forever.
7. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah. Yeah.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  They're the reason why the people in Iceland are so good at strongman competitions. You know? Those guys like the guy, the Mountain from Game of Thrones.
9. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, those freaks.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Where do you, where do you think that, those genes come from?
11. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, they need an eruption up there. They need to get ... We need to get rid of these guys.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  A little bit of a volcano. (laughs)
13. SGShane Gillis
  We can't have these guys. This is my Irish ancestry coming through. We gotta get rid of these fuckers.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  (inhales deeply) Yeah.
15. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  They fucked the world up for so long. That m- that show Vikings, you ever watch that show?
17. SGShane Gillis
  No, I heard it's great.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Fucking great.
19. SGShane Gillis
  I was afraid it was gonna be, like ... 'Cause they did, like, women. (laughs)
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, they kill everybody.
21. SGShane Gillis
  All right, good.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Everybody gets slaughtered.
23. SGShane Gillis
  No, no, no, I mean, like the badass, kickass woman characters.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
25. SGShane Gillis
  Do they have that?
26. JRJoe Rogan
  They have a couple, but-
27. SGShane Gillis
  That usually takes me out of a-
28. JRJoe Rogan
  No, no, they're realistic.
29. SGShane Gillis
  Okay.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  I mean, they're not, like, fucking up all the dudes or anything like that.
7:59 – 9:25
Who ‘discovered’ America? Vikings vs. Columbus, and history’s brutal receipts
1. SGShane Gillis
  Everything about them is rumors. They're like, "Oh, they discovered America first." It's like, nah, get the fuck out.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  I think they did.
3. SGShane Gillis
  Dude, you gotta give Columbus his fucking due.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Columbus gets, nah, no due.
5. SGShane Gillis
  Everybody hates Columbus.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  He's a cocksucker.
7. SGShane Gillis
  Bro.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  Bro, did you ever read that, uh, one-
9. SGShane Gillis
  Bro. (laughs) He fucking did it, dude.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs) He didn't even. He landed in the Bahamas.
11. SGShane Gillis
  He did it. Who cares? (laughs) That's crazy he did that.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  Did you, did you ever hear that one, um, there's one priest that traveled with Columbus that wrote those horrific stories of what they did to the Native Americans?
13. SGShane Gillis
  Fucking snitch.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
15. SGShane Gillis
  Fucking snitch.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
17. SGShane Gillis
  You guys. You're not allowed to go wild? You cross the ocean-
18. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
19. SGShane Gillis
  ... you're going wild.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, they chopped people's arms off if they didn't give them enough gold.
21. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  They dashed babies' heads on the rocks. They did some horrific shit, man.
23. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, bad. Yeah.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  Some horrific shit.
25. SGShane Gillis
  But-
26. JRJoe Rogan
  People were awful back then.
27. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Just think about how awful people were in the movies in 1950, just smacking women around.
29. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, I was just watching that Sean Connery interview yesterday.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  (blows raspberry)
9:25 – 11:50
Scotland travel awe: ancient stone circles, empty landscapes, and big stags
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Bro, I was in Scotland and I was at this place. And, uh, there's a, there's a fucking stone circle that's older than Stonehenge.
2. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  Like, who made this?
4. SGShane Gillis
  Mm.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  I don't know. You could just go stand on it. You could touch it.
6. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
7. JRJoe Rogan
  Like, they don't even protect it. It's just laying out there in front of this dude's house. It's literally in front of this dude's house.
8. SGShane Gillis
  That's crazy.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  It's like, it's like 50 feet in front. You could throw a rock and hit it.
10. SGShane Gillis
  How old is it?
11. JRJoe Rogan
  5,000 plus years old? Stone circle. No idea who made it. They think. Druids?
12. SGShane Gillis
  Hmm?
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Maybe Druids?
14. SGShane Gillis
  That was big back then.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Scotland is fucking beautiful.
16. SGShane Gillis
  Scotland is pretty cool. Yeah.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh my God, there's no one there. It's like I kinda discovered it. (laughs)
18. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs) You close. Cut off their arms, dude.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  There's two million people in the whole country.
20. SGShane Gillis
  Really?
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, the whole country is as big as Austin.
22. SGShane Gillis
  Wow.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. It's fucking gorgeous. Goddamn, it's pretty.
24. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Low clouds and the, the, the hill... They're not really mountains. They're kinda like, you know, a couple thousand feet.
26. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  But God, it's fucking gorgeous. God. And they have these stags everywhere. These like big majestic stags around.
28. SGShane Gillis
  Really?
29. JRJoe Rogan
  Damn. I got a picture of one. I'll show you a picture.
30. SGShane Gillis
  Let me see that.
11:50 – 14:51
Hunting ethics and the need for “difficult things” to stay sane
1. SGShane Gillis
  Did you want to shoot him?
2. JRJoe Rogan
  100%.
3. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
4. JRJoe Rogan
  I was looking at his vitals and I was drawing back. I was like-
5. SGShane Gillis
  Really?
6. JRJoe Rogan
  ... he was but 90 yards.
7. SGShane Gillis
  Oh, were you hunting when you saw him?
8. JRJoe Rogan
  No, no, no, no, no.
9. SGShane Gillis
  Oh.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  I was just wandering around. I don't think you're allowed to bow hunt in Scotland. I don't think they allow you to bow hunt in the UK. Because the... They're just...
11. SGShane Gillis
  Oh, it's for animals.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. I just don't think that they're educated.
13. SGShane Gillis
  Because they're medieval.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  They're not educated about, uh, modern compound bows and modern broadheads.
15. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  And, you know, if someone's good at a bow and arrow, that's just as ethical as shooting it with a rifle.
17. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Maybe more so. The animals die fucking quick when you shoot them with a bow and arrow, if you shoot them right.
19. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
20. JRJoe Rogan
  They do.
21. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, I believe you.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  They die quick.
23. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  With one of those heavy-duty compounds, like a Hoyt, shooting fucking 300 feet per second, razor sharp broadhead at the end of it, whoosh. Just passes right through their body and next thing you know, they're spraying blood.
25. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah?
26. JRJoe Rogan
  They die quick.
27. SGShane Gillis
  What, when ... You just went there, right?
28. JRJoe Rogan
  To Scotland?
29. SGShane Gillis
  Didn't you just go hunting?
30. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. Yeah.
14:51 – 20:45
A semi-truck hits a sea of sheep: internet videos, comment-section warriors, and Australia
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh my God, I saw this video today of this guy was driving on the highway, and he's in a truck, and then before he can stop, there's sheep all over the road.
2. SGShane Gillis
  Oh, he hits the sheep?
3. JRJoe Rogan
  He hits 1,000 sheep.
4. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
5. JRJoe Rogan
  Here, I'll send it to you. I'll send it to Jamie. It's so fucked up.
6. SGShane Gillis
  I mean, that's not great, but that's gonna be very funny.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, it's, it's okay to watch because it's not gory, but it's just, it's just like, "Oh my God, what the fuck do you do?" You can't do anything. Y- he didn't-
8. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  He had zero time to prepare.
10. SGShane Gillis
  How many thuds?
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Uh, oh, quite a few.
12. SGShane Gillis
  Do they have the dash cam from in the car?
13. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
14. SGShane Gillis
  Do you get to see him?
15. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
16. SGShane Gillis
  That's my favorite.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Why does it ... Instagram is fucking weird. Like sometimes when Instagram is open, it won't show you the link you're trying to get to. Did it come up, the right one? Here, I'll show you. I'll send it to you. I got you.
18. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  This is the right one?
20. SGShane Gillis
  Oh, dude, I must've, I must've shown it on Protect Our Parks. There's one where this dog's crossing the street.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh.
22. SGShane Gillis
  Dude, it's so ... (laughs)
23. JRJoe Rogan
  So watch this.
24. SGShane Gillis
  All right.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Go full screen on this. This dude's just driving along the road.
26. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
27. JRJoe Rogan
  Having a good old time. Just doing his thing, trying to get to his destination. He's not even speeding. Look, going normal. Normal. Oh, Jesus.
28. SGShane Gillis
  Oh.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  Boom. Bro, bro.
30. SGShane Gillis
  (sighs)
20:45 – 24:19
Tasmanian tigers, prison colonies, and the ‘drunk English’ accent theory
1. JRJoe Rogan
  No predators. I mean, I don't know what the fuck used to kill kangaroos. Maybe the Tasmanian tigers, maybe. The thylacine.
2. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  Which they think still exist. They think they're still out there.
4. SGShane Gillis
  How many... Now, they're, how did they die?
5. JRJoe Rogan
  People killed them.
6. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure. I mean, the last one was in the zoo. The last live one-
8. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  ... that was in a zoo.
10. SGShane Gillis
  They were dumb fucking... They were dumb.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  Well-
12. SGShane Gillis
  It was time to go for those guys.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  They were weird looking.
14. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
15. JRJoe Rogan
  It's like a strange dog-looking-
16. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  ... kind of creature. They're kind of cool and they have giant mouths. When they yawn, they open their mouths. Like, "What the fuck are you doing with all those teeth?"
18. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, yeah. It's got like a fucking alligator head.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, a giant fucking mouth.
20. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  They think they have them still in remote areas, though, 'cause there's so much unexplored area and people have spotted them.
22. SGShane Gillis
  What, in like Van Diemen's Land?
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Y- you know.
24. SGShane Gillis
  Oh, they have marsupials?
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. Yeah, isn't that wild? They had a pouch. A lot of marsupials over there, which is also odd. What a cool looking fucking animal.
26. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, I take it back, that's a good guy.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. They think they found... So Google thylacine spotted. Spotted in Australia, sightings, 2021. There you go. Click on that. Yeah, they think they've seen them. Tasmanian tiger-like animal caught on video on a suburban street. Yeah, they think they still exist, man. Like, a bunch of people have apparently spotted them in different places. To the point where, um, I had a biologist on the podcast who was explaining that there's m- multiple different scientists that are trying to find these things. They have camera traps set up and shit. And there's enough sightings that people are pretty sure that they're real. That they're, they, they actually still exist. Which totally makes sense, because that area's-
28. SGShane Gillis
  Yes.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  I mean, it's so big.
30. SGShane Gillis
  Imagine being the poor fucking guys that got exiled there.
24:19 – 28:27
UFC tangent: Paddy vs. Ferguson, Goggins training, and how fighters age in real time
1. SGShane Gillis
  When's he fighting again?
2. JRJoe Rogan
  He's fighting Tony Ferguson, I believe, uh, in two weeks, right? Yeah, in the next UFC.
3. SGShane Gillis
  Tony Ferguson's fun.Tony Ferguson's got some miles. (laughs)
4. JRJoe Rogan
  He's a fun guy.
5. SGShane Gillis
  Got some miles on that body.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs) Yeah.
7. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  He's been training with David Goggins.
9. SGShane Gillis
  Oh, I saw that.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
11. SGShane Gillis
  That's kind of...
12. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
13. SGShane Gillis
  Goggins is just fucking him up.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  (clicks tongue) I... Yeah.
15. SGShane Gillis
  I wonder how good that is for you to run 100 miles.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  We're gonna find out. (laughs)
17. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs) Yeah. Can't be good.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  (coughs) They-
19. SGShane Gillis
  I'm no expert on fitness.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, fitness is important, but sparring is very important too. And, you know, timing is important, and training, and technique, and drilling, and being prepared to do specific things. It just... When fighters get older, they can't move as good. There's a bunch of shit that you don't see.
21. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Right? They might have knee things that you don't see. They might have back things that you don't see. So, they look the same.
23. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  There's apparently a video of, uh, Tony Ferguson when he used to enter the Octagon, how he used to move versus now.
25. SGShane Gillis
  Mm. Oh, yeah-
26. JRJoe Rogan
  See if you, see if you can find that.
27. SGShane Gillis
  ... he, he did that, like, crawl thing?
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
29. SGShane Gillis
  Didn't he do that?
30. JRJoe Rogan
  But it's also like-
28:27 – 33:03
‘Pause’ culture, Bud Light backlash jokes, and the fear of saying anything now
1. SGShane Gillis
  Have you seen the Cam'ron and Mase podcast?
2. JRJoe Rogan
  I did.
3. SGShane Gillis
  It's as funny as it gets.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Hilarious.
5. SGShane Gillis
  The Pause, the fucking-
6. JRJoe Rogan
  They're just going after it.
7. SGShane Gillis
  ... That's Crazy Paul's is so fucking funny.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, my God. They just went after it.
9. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  (clears throat) It's ... Like, we were talking about this, that, like, they talk like people used to talk in the '90s.
11. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, they're going.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
13. SGShane Gillis
  They're telling stories too.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  They're just telling stories and they're laughing.
15. SGShane Gillis
  They're like, "This is what we used to do." They talk about, like, running trains on chicks. (laughs)
16. JRJoe Rogan
  And they're laughing. (laughs)
17. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
18. JRJoe Rogan
  They're both laughing so loud.
19. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah. It's as good as it gets.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  It's, it's really funny.
21. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  'Cause they're not scared. And that's the thing, like, everybody today is scared. They're scared of telling-
23. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  ... the truth and these guys are just going for it.
25. SGShane Gillis
  They don't give a fuck.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
27. SGShane Gillis
  And it's very, very funny.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Speaking of not giving a fuck. Salut.
29. SGShane Gillis
  True.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  Hey.
33:03 – 38:26
WhatsApp spam, Bezos hacking, Pegasus spyware, and how to actually ‘disappear’
1. JRJoe Rogan
  My shit's on? Who is this? I don't even know these people.
2. SGShane Gillis
  (sniffs) (laughs)
3. JRJoe Rogan
  I'm getting-
4. SGShane Gillis
  Answer it. (laughs)
5. NANarrator
  Perfect time to answer it. (laughs)
6. JRJoe Rogan
  No, I'm getting WhatsApp calls.
7. NANarrator
  Oh, weird.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  How am I getting WhatsApp calls?
9. SGShane Gillis
  Is that from Argentina?
10. JRJoe Rogan
  No, this one's not. But I've gotten multiple WhatsApp calls today. Wonder if my phone number got leaked?
11. SGShane Gillis
  Hmm. Onto the WhatsApp?
12. JRJoe Rogan
  (sighs) I think I'm gonna delete WhatsApp.
13. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  There's no need for me to have that thing on there. So do it without.
15. SGShane Gillis
  No, I had it, I had it when I was-
16. JRJoe Rogan
  I'm gonna get a bunch of WhatsApp calls.
17. SGShane Gillis
  ... living in Europe. I didn't like it.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, well it's a, uh, for people in Europe, like, a lot of people-
19. SGShane Gillis
  I think that's their thing.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  ... don't have iPhones over there.
21. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, that's how they-
22. JRJoe Rogan
  So they just use WhatsApp.
23. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  Why, why, how come it's so popular over there, but, uh, not over here? What happened?
25. SGShane Gillis
  I don't know. They got it, i- it's weird to, n- yeah, use a separate app to text.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  Well, I think it's 'cause it's free or something.
27. SGShane Gillis
  I don't think I understand anything.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Is that what it is? Let me delete that thing right now. 'Cause it's been happening all day. Are they still using it?
29. SGShane Gillis
  Something must've happened.
30. NANarrator
  Yeah.
38:26 – 48:21
Phones watching you: masturbation paranoia, “load” jokes, and scammy internet sex traps
1. SGShane Gillis
  Anyway, anytime I jack off, I'm always worried somebody gets that footage.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Your phone's looking at you?
3. SGShane Gillis
  It is, but yeah, if somebody sees that face-
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Probably is.
5. SGShane Gillis
  That face, just... (imitates phone vibrating)
6. JRJoe Rogan
  (imitates phone vibrating) With a half hard dick.
7. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
8. JRJoe Rogan
  You're thinking about quitting-
9. SGShane Gillis
  Just barely. (laughs)
10. JRJoe Rogan
  ... but you're just determined to keep going.
11. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  'Cause you don't wanna stop once you start.
13. SGShane Gillis
  Gotta see if that zinc works.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
15. SGShane Gillis
  Fucking-
16. JRJoe Rogan
  See, measure your loads on a fucking-
17. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
18. JRJoe Rogan
  ... on a scale.
19. SGShane Gillis
  Oh, this was good today.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Let's see. I, uh, I had five egg whites.
21. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, that Waffle House paid off-
22. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
23. SGShane Gillis
  ... with a major load. (laughs) Yeah, if guys have little loads, they get sad. Like, aw.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  What's all that?
25. SGShane Gillis
  It is just, it is depressing.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  What's all that about?
27. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah. Jamie, you have little loads.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  How do you know?
29. NANarrator
  From... How do you know?
30. SGShane Gillis
  Don't worry about it, brother. (laughs)

COVID aftershocks: masks, city anxiety, and why dense crowds feel spiritually ‘loud’
1. SGShane Gillis
  I still... Yeah, I saw a guy on the plane yesterday wearing a mask. Got rock-
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. (sighs)
3. SGShane Gillis
  ... rock hard when I saw him.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Listen, I feel bad for them. I really do. At this point, I feel bad for them. They just feel like they're just, they're just not getting good information, they're lost, they're scared, they're confused.
5. SGShane Gillis
  I get, I get it, though, I get the... It did, that fucked me up as far as like, 'cause for like a year I was afraid of, like, talking close to people. You know what I mean?
6. JRJoe Rogan
  I was afraid for, I was afraid for quite a few months.
7. SGShane Gillis
  For how- however long that was-
8. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
9. SGShane Gillis
  ... I was... That, like, fucked me up for a while.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. I feel like until I got to Texas, I was afraid.
11. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  ... but LA was afraid. Like, it was in the air.
13. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Like people were freaked the fuck out, man. They were weirded out. Like d- B- Bill Burr on his podcast was yelling at someone who was across the street who didn't have a mask on. He talked about it on the pod. "What, no mask?" Bill was all-
15. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  ... in on that nonsense.
17. SGShane Gillis
  He was.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  But I swear to God, it's in the air there. I feel like if he was here, he wouldn't have done that. Th- there's a thing that's real.
19. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  And you could feel it when you go to other countries, for sure, is that people have... There's a different vibe that the people there have. And if you're- i- we are... Vibes and people's, uh, thoughts and their energy is very contagious. It's very contagious. And if you're around people that are freaked out, you're gonna be more freaked out than you would be if you were around people who weren't. And most people have a certain level of anxiety anyway. I mean, there's a reason why they're selling so much Xanax. There's a reason why so many people are on SSRIs. There's a lot of people out there that are not on a good path, th- whether it's because of their own fault or whether it's decisions that were made that affected them, or there's the way they were raised, or the fucking environment they find themselves in.
21. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  I'm not casting any blame on people, but there's a certain percentage of the population that is just already fucked up, and then COVID came along, and it just ran... And I think there was more people that are already fucked up in these high population urb- urban areas.
23. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  And I think it's just natural, 'cause I don't think people are supposed to be, like, stacked on top of each other like that. Like one of the things that I felt when I went up Scotland, you feel relaxed, like almost immediately. And I was like, "I think..." And we were all talking about this, that... We were like, I think when you're around a shit ton of people, whether you recognize it or not, there's something you're experiencing. There's energy you're experiencing. Whether it's just because there's so many numbers and you're paying attention to all these different people-
25. SGShane Gillis
  Mm-hmm.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  ... and kinda like seeing, looking around you, and, and taking in all this data, where there's a lot of noise-
27. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  ... or whether it's like there's physical energy that comes off of people, that we just don't know how to measure yet.
29. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  I'm more inclined to think that, because I... This is why I like the mountains so much. When I go to the mountains, dude, I feel better.

New York love/hate, legendary subs, and the deer rabbit hole (CWD + rut chaos)
1. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. I got these guys in the Bronx, GNR Deli, you ever, you ever have-
2. SGShane Gillis
  No.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  Dude, this is like the best-
4. SGShane Gillis
  I've never went to the fucking Bronx.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  ... Italian, Italian sub I've ever had-
6. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  ... in my fucking life. It's called the Bronx Godfather. We went, and the last time we went for the UFC-
8. SGShane Gillis
  These fucking Wops are never original.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  What are you talking about?
10. SGShane Gillis
  You Italians, like this one's the Godfather.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  I, I didn't name it.
12. SGShane Gillis
  You Italians. (laughs)
13. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs) My people named it. But dude, it's fucking... it's the best food. It's terrible for you. These people all look like they're just filled with inflammation. They're all just eating pasta all day, but they live in the fucking Bronx- Goddamn, they look like they're having a great time.
14. SGShane Gillis
  ... who gives a fuck? Yeah.
15. JRJoe Rogan
  They're having a great time.
16. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
17. JRJoe Rogan
  And they're eating. God bless.
18. SGShane Gillis
  Just grow up, dude. Just grow up.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  Forget about your diet. This guy always says that, "Forget about your diet."
20. SGShane Gillis
  ... and then they watch the Yankees not make the playoffs.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  Fuck! (laughs)
22. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
23. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs) Fuck! That's what I wanted. This is, t- come on, look at this guy's subs. Shut the fuck up. Tell me that doesn't-
24. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  That's a chicken cutlet. Come on, son. Look at that.
26. SGShane Gillis
  Alex.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  L- look at this sandwich. Look at this. We're slicing this thing open. Tell me you're not hungry.
28. SGShane Gillis
  I actually, I am hungry.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh. Look at these guys. (laughs) Guys. He's hungry too. Look at his face. He's ready to munch. (laughs) It, it was looking like he was about to fuck. He had a... (laughs) That's my friend Tommy.
30. SGShane Gillis
  (laughs)
1:01:11 – 1:07:12
Cold plunge evangelism and the comedy of becoming ‘that guy’
1. SGShane Gillis
  Even, yeah. I took a shower after. I was like-
2. JRJoe Rogan
  That one's rougher. That's the, the, the blue cube? The one we have in the studio, that's the roughest one. That's the roughest one.
3. SGShane Gillis
  I will say this about cold plunges. The only thing you do after you do a cold plunge is tell people you took a cold plunge.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  You can't shut the fuck up.
5. SGShane Gillis
  I can't shut the fuck up about it.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  It's like people who get into yoga.
7. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  They can't shut the fuck up.
9. SGShane Gillis
  I understand.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  'Cause they feel good.
11. SGShane Gillis
  I've always judged those people.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  Me too.
13. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
15. SGShane Gillis
  Now every conversation I have is-
16. JRJoe Rogan
  I've been those people. I am those people.
17. SGShane Gillis
  I've been the cold plungers.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  I am those people.
19. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. I'm those people with almost everything I like. (sniffs)
21. SGShane Gillis
  I get it.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. It's a problem.
23. SGShane Gillis
  Not really.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  But that fucking thing's awesome.
25. SGShane Gillis
  I thought you were, I thought you were wrong about the cold plunge.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  (smacks lips) No, we didn't-
27. SGShane Gillis
  When we did, me, Ari, and Mark stuck our fucking, just our hands in the cold plunge-
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Right.
29. SGShane Gillis
  ... to see if we could do 30 seconds.
30. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
1:07:12 – 1:13:03
Napoleon movie takes, primate sex facts, toxoplasmosis, and ‘culture-changing’ parasites
1. SGShane Gillis
  I saw Napoleon.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  How was it?
3. SGShane Gillis
  I loved it.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  You did?
5. SGShane Gillis
  I loved it.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  Why do people not like it?
7. SGShane Gillis
  ... here's what I think. I think Ridley Scott made Napoleon like a human... Well, Joaquin Phoenix did it. Made him like a human being, like he says dumb shit, he fucks up.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
9. SGShane Gillis
  You know? Usually if you're watching like a historical movie, like you-
10. JRJoe Rogan
  Right.
11. SGShane Gillis
  ... want him to be like-
12. JRJoe Rogan
  Abraham Lincoln.
13. SGShane Gillis
  ... speaking well the entire time.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. Always perfect.
15. SGShane Gillis
  Totally in control.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  Right.
17. SGShane Gillis
  Yeah, this is a guy that's like-
18. JRJoe Rogan
  An actual human.
19. SGShane Gillis
  He's a human, the whole time.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
21. SGShane Gillis
  But every time they cut to a scene where he's fucking his wife, it's so funny.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Why?
23. SGShane Gillis
  Just him doggy... He... All he does is doggy style. (laughs)
24. JRJoe Rogan
  That was his thing?
25. SGShane Gillis
  As hard as he... I don't think that's historically accurate.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
27. SGShane Gillis
  They just cut to him and Josephine like (grunts) (laughs)
28. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
29. SGShane Gillis
  It's pretty great. Yeah, yeah. Just...
30. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
